Adding to weeks of US anger over Iran trying to ship gasoline to Venezuela, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is now accusing the Chinese government off being behind the scheme in part, calling them one of the last countries supporting Iran’s Mahan Air.
Pompeo went on to single out Shanghai Saint Logistics as a company violating US sanctions, and announced that they have been moved to a State Department “blacklist” in response to the recent Iran-Venezuela trade.
With the US heavily sanctioning both Iran and Venezuela, the two have made some recent trades, with Iran sending fuel and Venezuela paying in gold. Pompeo says Mahan Air is being used to fly the gold out of Venezuela, in violation of no laws, but against US wishes.
While the US tries to prevent all trade out of Iran, China continues to trade with them. China remains one of Iran’s main oil customers.
So good to see China is not afraid of the US BULLY BOY.
A few more Nations stand up to the US and the World will see the PARIAH in its true colours.
china is going to be so bogged down with their war with india we should take advantage and attack them starting in the so china sea. they won’t know which way to turn.
India will not fight China. They are not so dumb. Putin would not allow it, either.
china has a vested interest in helping with that kashmir situation. there will be a ground war hopefully. ground wars are fun. there is strategy involved and hiding behind rocks and bushes and in alleys between downtown buildings can be filmed live on location with today’s technology.
“Pompeo says Mahan Air is being used to fly the gold out of Venezuela, in violation of no laws, but against US wishes.”
Aren’t our “wishes” really what we consider to be the law?
our word is law. i wouldn’t challenge it if i were one these poorly run countries.
So what, its free trade and legal.
Pompeo has no clue about international law and diplomacy.
the u.s.is not subject to international law. we can enforce it but do not have to abide by it.
oh yeah, the delusional, we are the exceptional and
indispensable crap.
the icc haven’t ever or wouldn’t ever dare to bring us to the hague. we would cut off aid so fast it would seem like they never got any at all. if there is a level above exceptional it would be reserved for us. until someone can step up to replace we run things in this world.
G.I. Joe has spoken.
it’s been fun being on the side that is always seeking truth, justice and the american way.
Right you are Mr. pootins poop…
Truth and Justice ARE NOT THE AMERICAN WAY
Truth ? Aren’t you a “US faked the moon landing” guy ?
you got me there. i was parodizing the old superman tv show. which none of you have ever seen apparently or you would have picked up on it.
